Trump to ban trans people from military
The lunatic in chief has decided that transgendered folks are unfit to serve in the American armed forces, reversing President Obama's directive allowing it.
Our national nightmare continues.

Trump to Ban Transgender Armed Services Members
After consultation with my Generals and military experts, please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military. Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail. Thank you

Re: Trump to ban trans people from military
According to this LA Times article, in 2011, approximately 23 of every 100,000 patients were diagnosed with GID. That means less than 500 people of the 2+ million people in the military are identified as transgender. Treatment for 500 people in the military is not only not "tremendous," in the scope of the military's budget, but a drop in the bucket to things like the long criticized and stumbling, 1.5 Trillion dollar F-35 program that even Trump has criticized. On top of that, when you look at multi billion dollar waste coverups of the Pentagon, it becomes clear that not only would having transgender people be manageable financially, but money is clearly not an issue at heart. It's all political. So no, he's not right.
